Well it turned out to kind of be a waste of time. The guy was more interested in talking with my husband about skiing. And he did ask questions. But went off on tangents about how benzos will screw up your brain. All while I almost in tears. And ready to jump out of my skin. He was from Poland and spoke about three experiemental hospitals there that when the first psych meds came out some floors used thorazine and others not as an experiment. He then told of a woman who had almost murdered her husband on benzos and escaped from a mental hospital and years later he saw here after she had been detoxed off the benzos and seemed quite well then. Now did I need to hear this!!!! Said since I had a thryroid problem and chronic lyme's disease it made me a very difficult patient to treat. I became even more anxious. Kept emphasizing that he didn't prescribe meds but was an MD. Said the meds were only by the pdocs. So I asked if I could speak to him for a few minutes before I left as by now I was almost dizzy well I was dizzy with anxiety. They had me fill out a form and state a reason for wanting to see the pdoc. I wrote Help!!!!! and even spelled it wrong. Waited in the waiting room and the girl said she would speak to the pdoc. She came out and said no he'll see you next week at your scheduled appointment. That maybe the high anxiety lack of concentration crawling out of my skin was just coming off only 7-l0 days of the cymbalata . I quit!!!!!! Fondly, Phillipa Too many pdocs and none of them know a thing. They are all alike.
